{Book Blitz} Nightmares of Caitlin Lockyer by Demelza Carlton

There are real monsters out there. The worst part is that they’re human.

They took her away from me.
I mumbled a protest through the haze of pain and exhaustion that had turned me into little more than a zombie. I’ll never be able to watch a zombie movie again without remembering this night, I thought.
“It’s all right – we have to move her to take care of her. She’s hurt worse than you,” I was told. “We need to treat you, too. There’s a gunshot wound in your shoulder.”
One of the hospital staff looked grim and came over. She started firing questions at me.
“Name?”
“Nathan Miller.”
“What happened?”
“I was shot.”
“By whom?””
“A homicidal lunatic with a gun and bad aim.”
“Her name?”
“Caitlin Lockyer.”
“What happened to her?”
“Looks like someone tried to kill her.”

Nathan found Caitlin on a beach covered in blood. Saving her life was just the start. Now he’s the prime suspect and he has to find out who’s really responsible. Both of their lives depend on it.

Who hurt her?
Why was he shot?
What did he promise?
Why doesn’t his story add up?
Who was the dead man on the beach?
What will she remember when she wakes up?

A tiny taste of what’s in store:

“Stay away from her, Nathan. That girl isn’t good for you.”
Stay away from her? I’d go crazy with worry in a day.””You don’t know her.”
Chris looked grim. “Neither do you. Is there anything you wouldn’t do for her?”
“Yes,”” I snapped. “”I wouldn’t die for her.”
Chris turned around to stare at me, her mouth hanging open.
“Do you want to know why?” I asked steadily. “I wouldn’t die for her because I wouldn’t be able to protect her any more. What if I missed one of the people who hurt her? I couldn’t take that risk. She’s too important.”

Nightmares Trilogy

Dark, disturbing and definitely scary – Nightmares of Caitlin Lockyer is the first book in Demelza Carlton’s Nightmares Trilogy. The second book is Necessary Evil of Nathan Miller.

Demelza Carlton has always loved the ocean, but on her first snorkelling trip she found she was afraid of fish.

She has since swum with sea lions, sharks and sea cucumbers and stood on spray drenched cliffs over a seething sea as a seven-metre cyclonic swell surged in, shattering a shipwreck below.

Sensationalist spin? Hardly. She takes a camera with her to photograph such things to share later. She asserts that sharks are camera shy.

Demelza now lives in Perth, Western Australia, the shark attack capital of the world.

The Ocean’s Gift series was her first foray into fiction, followed by her Nightmares trilogy.
